he still supports mr. romney but repeated the president did a great job. what do they want him to do, lie? >> that's right. i think this was the longest tightest bear hug that i've ever seen between chris christie and barack obama. and certainly, democrats are happy to see that and republicans not so happy. i think when you look at why chris christie is doing this, he is not only thinking about his own reelection but 2016. he, i think, privately is expressing what you hear republicans express privately, and that is that they feel like on tuesday mitt romney will lose. so his calculation is looking at 2016. he is also looking at his own race in 2014. new jersey, very blue state, you've got a state where it is 15% african-american, almost 20% latino. you are also looking at a race that could include cory booker. look at recent polls. there was a poll out in october that showed in match-up between cory booker and chris christie that booker would only trail at this point by four points. so i think he is looking at his own political calculus hear. but also he w

tough hurdle for mr. romney to clear in ohio. in the last 48 hours or so there have been seven polls. all of them have suggested that mr. obama is up within the margin of error by a couple of points on mitt romney. most scenarios, romney can't win without winning here in florida as well as without ohio. so, one of the schools of thought is that the romney camp is trying to hedge against a possible defeat in ohio by expanding the battlefield or trying to into those three blue states. the obama campaign isn't buying it. as we head into the final six days it's very clear it's going to go right down to the wire with anybody's guess in some of the battleground states in the quest for 270 electoral votes. national polls s. tied as is some of those battleground states even with the margin of error. shep? >> shepard: carl cammeron in jacksonville florida tonight. little relief for air travelers coming in and out of the nation's airspace after sandy. earlier today two of new york's airports reopened on a limited basis. jfk and newark libe

all of these things mr. romney talks about now were true before the crash. because of the policies he now advocates. and then came the crash just six weeks before the election. he took office and the economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month. now, the economy lost jobs for about 15 months. but when it started again, and president obama's program starting kicking in, in just 33 months, we had 5.5 million jobs, as of yesterday. when someone criticizes an office holder, you have a right to ask them, "compared to what"? so let's look at our most recent comparison. if you don't count the losses in the crash against president bush and you just look at the seven years after the brief slow down we had when the dot com stocks crashed a little bit and the on set of the crash in september, 2008, just that seven-year period, there were 2.6 million private sector jobs. in 33 months, less than half that time, twice as many jobs, 5.5 million. barack obama has done a good job with a bad hand. the third reason i'm for him is he has fulfilled a solid responsibility to be a good
